Mugshots Friday: April's Fools

Every Friday, Riptide brings you the most eye-catching mugshots taken the previous week (or thereabouts) in Miami-Dade County.

Arrested: 3/28Charges: Cannabis and Drug Paraphernalia Possession.A lesser-used deterrent in the War on Drugs is reminding people how it's nearly impossible to look good in a mugshot when you're stoned.

Arrested: 3/28Charges: BatteryWe just might make it a habit to chronicle every "The World Is Mine" tattoo.
